Stone Worktops
Granite has fast become popular in recent years, mainly for the multitude of varieties and colours available. It is chiefly made of Quartz and Feldspar and, being very dense and hard, stands up well to the treatment it receives. It is a good choice for the kitchen as it is resistant to Alkali and Acids is. Generally the lighter granites are softer than darks.
It is worth asking your supplier to make sure that the Granite supplied is not a Basalt or Dyed, as these Granites are not acid resistant and can be damaged and very difficult to restore.
Although some suppliers may not recommend sealing Granite it is always best to test first because there are granites that are more porous than others. A simple test would be to apply a few drops of water to the surface for a minute or so then wipe it off. If the Granite is darker in the area where you applied the water then it will need sealing.
